Abbreviated Evaluation Option The State Board of Education has further clarified the requirements for an abbreviated teacher evaluation. According to Board policy approved in July, principals may decide to conduct an abbreviated evaluation of career-status teachers who are not in their license renewal year. As part of the abbreviated evaluation, teachers complete a self-assessment and a professional development plan. An administrator then conducts a minimum of two informal observations and comments on the teacher’s performance on Standards One and Four during that time. An informal observation consists of a minimum of 20 minutes in the classroom. At the end of the year, the teacher and the evaluator meet for a summary evaluation conference, and the principal completes a summary rating form with ratings for Standards One, Four, and Six. The attached PDF file (comparison chart above) provides a summary of evaluation requirements. Teachers may request a formal observation if they so desire. Please note that the abbreviated evaluation is only an option. Principals may always elect to complete a full evaluation for any teacher, especially if there are existing performance concerns. McREL, a partner vendor in the evaluation project, is currently making changes to bring the abbreviated evaluation online in the next few weeks. MORE INFO: We know that there are many questions about the new evaluation, so please contact Jennifer Preston, Race to the Top Project Coordinator for Teacher and Leader Effectiveness, at Jennifer.Preston@dpi.nc.gov or (919) 807-4187 or Dr. Liz Colbert, Lead Professional Development Consultant, at Elizabeth.Colbert@dpi.nc.gov or (919) 807-4037.
